<<A belief that each race has a duty to its own race is the very definition of racism.>>
I think you are very confused, and in your confusion, you have failed to analyze the situation properly. Everybody has a duty to defend every race against racism and racial attacks. This is why I defend the blacks against racists in and out of the Tea Party and this is why Herman Cain ought to be defending the blacks against racists and racism instead of endearing himself to the Tea Party. NOT because Herman Cain is a black man and therefore obligated to defend blacks only against racism; he should defend EVERY race against racism because he is a human being. Period.
Now the racists who are attacking the blacks of America, albeit through code words, and however underhandedly they now must proceed, may in a larger sense be traitors to the human race because they've abandoned their larger humanitarian obligations to peoples of all colours and all races, but they are not strictly speaking traitors to the race under attack because they are not members of that race. Herman Cain, in helping Whitey in his racist attacks on blacks, is not only a despicable human being, as is ANY racist, but he is ALSO a traitor to his own race. He's attacking his own people! So he's doubly despicable - - as a human being of ANY colour who facilitates racism against others and also as a black man who sells out other blacks for his own advancement. Thus justifying the name Uncle Tom. Nothing racist about using the term where it fits - - it is fighting racism, and the WORST kind of racism, the racism where a member of the targeted group aids and abets the oppressor.
